Enabling System/Core Logging

Note: We strongly advise removing logging as soon as you are finished, since leaving it on will tax the system too heavily.

To enable the SVAdm system/core log, run the following:

svadm -o addlogging

Name	Description
async	Logs in a different thread, so as to not slow down the apparent speed to the end user as much.
classes	A comma-separated list of the classes you want to restrict the logging to.
clear	Clears the existing log file of the given type if it exists.
level	One of debug, info, warn, or error.
stacktrace	Includes the stack trace in the log file (slows the system down more).
type	One of core, svservice, or timer.
verbose	Displays information on the logging configuration files that are being updated.

Examples of these some of these commands can be found in the Enabling SVService Logging and Start Dump sections below.

Note: Be certain to run iireset if the command instructs you to do so.

If you are trying to track down an error, replicate the error while logging is running. Go to \Program Files\ShareVis\logs and review the file sharevis.log.

To disable the SVAdm system/core log, run the following:

svadm -o removelogging
